I have tried to set up the permissions as mentioned in the below, however when every time I change them, they are modified when I try to run one of the scripts so that the permissions are no longer correct. (eg, I set /data/ permision to drwxrwxr-x, but it will automatically get changed to drwxr-xr-x). Frankly, being a neubie, I don't undestand all this - and since I am accessing my site via FTP I don't know how to run chown commands... just chmod. How do I set permissions for 'nobody' using FTP?

My Host? didn't Chris say something about his calendar? ;> please read this http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/DataPermission it may or may not be "nobody" in your case -- it's the user that runs your webserver... another popular one is "apache" but you need to check your own system to be sure. as for how to give access, $ man chown ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
